I'm not really a hot drink drinker but will have one if meeting a friend in town.
Mine's a latte with coconut milk.

What's yours?

I get a tea because I prefer my coffee at home. I can drink tea strong or weak so not as disappointing.

JudyKing · 12/11/2024 14:38

Hot chocolate, preferably from Pret 😋

Tisfortired · 12/11/2024 14:39

Flat white and an almond croissant please

AgileGreenSeal · 12/11/2024 14:42

Chai latte with cinnamon sprinkles

Crushed23 · 12/11/2024 14:53

Extra hot oat latte. Every day.

Sometimes treat myself to an extra hot oat MATCHA latte in the afternoon as well. 🤗

Ginkypig · 12/11/2024 15:35

A black coffee with cold milk on the side or the option to add it myself.
I only like the tiniest splash of milk and even if I ask for that there is always too much.

i don’t care about filter or americano just as long as it’s strong enough.

@RestitutionGranted

God yes!

sometimes safer just to ask for an espresso with an equal shot of water and hot milk on the side. ie make it yourself 😂
But cortado doesn't have an extra shot of water 🫤

As the user name says, Oat Flat White for me please.

The last time I was in a coffee shop was about five years ago when I asked for a filter coffee with a dash of milk. I got a blank look and had to settle for something called a flat white. It wasn’t the same thing at all.

You should have got an americano with milk. No idea why they didn't suggest it

A skinny cappuccino
Although was flabbergasted the other day being charged £4.70 in Starbucks for a large one!

🤨

Ah yes sorry depends on the country

UK espresso more watery and less thick than some other countries

Flat white - can't be doing with a great bucket of coffee 🪣

Chocolate twist 🤤

MogTheSillyCat · 12/11/2024 17:55

A flat white and a pain au chocolat s’il vous plaît

•Matcha latte, whole milk but I'm not bothered if coco milk is standard. Dislike oat and soy in hot drinks.
• If no matcha, a plain caffe latte (whole milk) or earl grey tea.
All these drinks sometimes iced, depending on how I feel

• Almond croissant, if it looks good (freshly baked, lots of filling!)
• Bacon and tomatoes with toast, if it's a greasy spoon

shittestusernameever · 12/11/2024 18:08

Americano with pouring cream.

GetrudeCoppard · 12/11/2024 18:09

Black tea. I don’t drink coffee and barely ever drink tea, but I order it to be sociable.

Worsethingshappenatsea · 12/11/2024 18:12

Oat cappuccino and almond croissant please 🥐

anonny55 · 12/11/2024 18:13

Oo Iced caramel latte, one shot of coffee and almond milk

I only like very weak coffee 🤣

Tarnishedbutton · 12/11/2024 18:15

I learnt today that blue light gives a discount in Starbucks.

Livinginaclock · 12/11/2024 18:19

Small half shot, oat milk latte.

PlumViper · 12/11/2024 18:20

hot chocolate with cream and sometimes 2x sugar

or cuppa tea but usually medium milky no sugar

BlueEyedLeucy · 12/11/2024 18:30

If it’s autumn/winter - hot chocolate.
if it’s spring/summer - whatever fruit juice and ice blended thing the place does.

I’ve never got a taste for coffee and tea is generally bad in most coffee shops.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 12/11/2024 18:37

Depends on the time of day and the season!

In the summer mornings I like a blended double espresso poured over icy skimmed milk with a tiny bit of vanilla syrup. Early afternoon it’s an americano.

When it’s getting a bit of a chill in the air or if I want something comforting for my morning drink I’ll have a little double ristretto mixed with a little bit of chocolate powder and topped with oat milk. Afternoon is a vanilla, one shot dirty chai or a white chocolate mocha made with oat milk and a splash of gingerbread.

If I’m tired or busy then a double espresso and some ice water.

BobbyBiscuits · 12/11/2024 18:44

Cappuccino with powder chocolate and cinnamon on top. The cinnamon is very important. Also it needs to have a nice study rich crema I can eat with a spoon a bit before stirring it in. And I always use sweetners. Not sure why as I hate diet soda etc.

Flat white extra hot.
Can't stand tepid coffee that most places serve

It's not supposed to be ragingly hot, it ruins the milk.
